What fork travel is considered long travel these days?
FYI – I’ll be clearing out the last 725 and 853 frames for silly prices (about 30 frames in total) when I get my arse in gear and put something up on the Dialled Bikes website.
Like!
My brother has an Alpine and loves it. I’ll keep an eye on your site for bargains, I reckon.
Edit… Oh and a Ragley mmmBop here. Been run at 160mm and 150mm, now much happier at 130mm. Great little bike. Nice light alu frame with good angles. Quite a harsh ride but put in the effort and it’s properly rewarding.
On One Carbon 456 here too, fantastic bike, best of both worlds, xc light with hardcore geometry, fork length of your choice. The new EVO should be even better.
I will recommend what I ride; Dialled Alpine. Mine is a Mk1 and I would be lost without it. With 150mm Z1s on the front and 2 chainrings it does everything I will ever wish a bike to do.
I’ve been riding a Mountain Cycle rumble for the past few years, with 150mm Z1’s on the front, and an Alfine on the back. No mech’s tight chain-line and means it’s almost silent. Ride it on long and short rides, dirt Jumping, downhill bashing and even at the local concrete Skate bowls.
Can’t see anything being much better TBH. Its sweet.
